Edit: If you are willing to have the duplicates appear as infants, you can pretty much completely adapt with some sort of universal adoption service, but then you lose most of the features of "duplicates" - your much younger twins aren't really that much like you.
Try this twist, when someone duplicates, they become 3D6 years younger physiologically. If I, a 57 year old man duplicate, rolls dice, and becomes 12 years younger, you have two 45 year olds. If older duplicates tend to lose more years than younger folks, the system might be stable or only slowly moving toward doom.
